Soma mem-v is perhaps sent out aud never hoard of in the way of dividends afU-rwar Is. Tl investor sin: i ins incii:is rrm an opinion cf the mining industry and mining men, stamping the en tire craft t:s imposters aud swind lers. In the undue prominence which is often given to such affairs, the real, si !id, paying indus try is lost sight of. It exists, nevertheless, and is one of the m si important branches of business iu the tTuifed States. Illustrating thi?, I have here the United States Geological Snr vey taLles of mineral production during the past few years. Iu addition to the extent of this pro duction these tables also show its wonderful increase. Money judi cionsiv mvestea m mniiug is as safe and sure of return as though placed iu legisteud government bonds. I mosslim ',l;ocj f.iafslo sLaw (to any sucli unfortunate investors) that the mining business is not an uncertain, speculative industry; and that men engaged ia its di rection are well educated, practi cal men; always on the lookout for real improvements and improv ing their methods aud practices by frequent interchange of ideas. The advantages of electric light for mining operations have i-.lrea- dy been recognized very largely, both in mining proper and its at tendant industry, metallurgy. At the Vermillion mine, at Tower, llinn., which is 100 miles north of Duluth, and in a country where one is surprised to see any human habitation, the electric light shines forth as the ono redeeming feature in a desolate landscape. Electricity is entering more and more into the metallurgy of gold and silver in amalgation processes. Aud the desirability of having an electric current "on tap," so to speak, for work of this kiud may prove an additional argument in many cases for the establishment of a lighting or power plant. Ono of the most prominent mining machines using a current is the Wis-well pulverizer and amalgamator, manufactured in Boston This consists essentially of a circular trough, lined with amalgamating troughs, in which four heavy wheels revolve, grinding the ore to fino pulp. An instance of electrical power already in use in mining and meeting the requirements and fulfilling the condition for such work is the installation of tho enor mous plant of the Sprague motor systems at Big Bend, on the Feather river, Butte county, Cal. A water fall of 300 feet was obtained and at this point are placed powerful l'eltou wheels, giving a very large horse power. The electric generators put in hero furnish current along a circuit of eighteen miles, extending around the entire bend of tho river. Motors are placed along the circuit at fourteen different points and furnish power required for hoisting, pumping and running machinery. Another mining application by this company has been made at Aspen, Col., where an electric motor is applied to hoisting purposes. The hoisting machine consists of the usual drum mounted on a shaft carrying a friction wheel. A parallel shaft carries a paper- faced friction pullny, bearing against the iron face of the friction wheel. For reducing the Mercantile Mouse of WHOLESAtH AXO RETAIL DEALERS IT Oils, Flour, Hay.Gran and Potatoes, Steel, Iron, WIRE, SADDLES AND HARNESS. CHAMPAGNE, BEER, speed, intermediate gears mesh into pinions on each end of the armature shaft. Voltage 4.0, dynamo a mile off. Two hoists of this kind are to be operated on tho circuit, besides aten-horsepower motor of standard shape. Tho aerial tramways now being put on the market with electric prepnlsion, promise to become important factors to haulage. The cables on which the cars are suspended are the conveyors of the current; being properly protected by covering plates, and small motors are placed on each car. The ease of operation and control and and other advantages of such a system, will doubtless make its early introduction almost a necessity. Timothy W. Sprague, S. B. .Vi Arctic Gasis. J. T. Dowoll, of Pennsylvania, who for two years past has been mining in Colorado aud Alaska, is down from PrinceWilliam's Sound Alaska, where he has been for many months past. Ho came on the steamer South Coast, and brought seventy-five tons of bituminous lignite coal with him from a mine which he has opened on Cook's Inlet. He is now testing tho coal here to find just what quality it is, although ho says it is superior. Dowell and eight companions have been prospecting about Cook's Inlet ever since they first wont north. He said last night to a reporter at the Occidental: 'On the west side of Kenri Peninsula, and on the east side of Cook's Inlet, is a strip of country more than 100 miles long and 50 miles wide that is a sight to see. For five months in the year it is covered with a lnxuKant red-top that adds to the beauty of the frowning mountains beyond. "It is, to all appearance, as fine agricultural land as I ever saw, and looks like a great river basin. There are thousands of acres of this red-top. I brought some of it down with me, and all who have seen it speak of it with wonder. "On this peninsula, too, are large areas, of hundreds of acres each, of huckleberries, cranberries and red and black currants. The berries are finer by far than I ever saw anywhere else. The cranberry marshes of Michigan and the blueberries of the east are nothing either in quality or quantity to these. They are larger, plentier and sweeter. "The peninsula would make a lordly cattle ranch. Tho stock could live on grass for five months and on the red-top hay for the rest of tho year. "It is also a good mineral region. We found plenty of gold and sil ver indications, enough to show ns it was a very rich country, but we were looking for coal and consequently paid little attention to other minerals. "I hear the Alaska Commercial Company and the cannery men talking down that country, but I have had some experience in the Leadville carbonate mines, and I must say I think Alaska is the greatest mineral region there is. I think tho Alaska company and the cannery men don't want outsiders to go in. They want to hold the country for themselves. San Francisco Examiner. Tho silver miners in the United States have suffered a loss in dis count by tho demonetization cf silver of over !fS0,000,000. Tho largest stamp mill in the world is on Douglas Island, and it turns out about $150,000 per month. the Southwest.d Falks', Schlitz and Anheuser. Look at the llorse.- A horse's head indicates bid character very much as a man's does. Vice is' shown in the mouth and eyes,intelligence is shown in tho eyes and in the breadth between the ears and between thd eyes; spirit in the eyes and in the nose, in the mobile nostril and ia tho active ear. The size of thecal', the ( jinness of the skin, making the face bony, the large, open, thin-edged nosti i' the fine ear and the thin, fino mane and foretop are indications of fine breeding, and accompanying a high-strung, nervous organization, which, with good limbs and muscular power insures a considerable degree of speed in the animal. The stupid, lazy horsfe that drivers call a "chunk head," has a dull eye, a narrow forehead and contracted pel!. Ho is not represented in this g:otip, but occurs not frequently, is always a blunderefor-gets himself and stumbles on smooth ground, gets himself and owner into difficulties, is sometimes positively lazy, but often a hard goer. He needs constant care and wiitchfulness on the driver's part. A buyer of equine flesh should be able to detect the good and bad qualities of the horse he contemplates purchasing. This knowledge is only acquired by a careful study of horse pbysiog- With this issue we suspend the agricultural department, established five weeks ago, We instituted this feature as an experiment, and to help out a literary tenderfoot from the east who was barefooted and penniless, bnt who was fertile of suggestions. The experiment was a failure. The 1. t-f. was drunk most of the time, and when he was sober he didn't know a cactus from a wild lemon. The most valuable suggestion made by him was that the farmers of Arizona drink less oats and sow more whisky. We have bidden the tenderfoot a permanent and lasting adieu, and we now bid farewell to agriculture as a set thing. We shall occasionally refer to the subject in a reckless, off-hand way, taking chances on results, bnt there will be no further studied attempt to make the sandy plains get up and hump themselves into fields of waving corn, and we shan't cover the rocky hillsides thereabouts with vineyards or patches of deceptive buckwheat Good-by, tenderfoot good-by, ag-ricult nre. Arizona Kicker. A Palace of Salt. The people of Salt Lake City are contemplating the erection of a great "Salt Palace." It would be a structure that would lay in the shade all the ice and corn palaces ever constructed. The main part of the structure could be of the finest specimens of rock salt to be found in the quarries, chiseled, carved and artistically arranged ; while the interior fittings should be of crystalized work from the lake on a grand scala Such a palace should be permanent if properly protected from the winter rains; it could be made one of unique and striking style of architecture; it could be made one of the wonders of the world. When lighted by electricity the structure would have all the sparkle and diamond giitter of the great ice palaces, with the difference in the Salt Palace's favor that heat would not dim its glories in the least. Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise. The Anaconda mine, Montana Territory, is chiefly copper, with a proportion of silver and some gold. The present year's output is estimated at $13,000,000, about $10,000,000 copper, $2,000,000 of silver aud $1,000,000 of gold.

The advantages of electric light for mining operations have i-.lrea- dy been recognized very largely, both in mining proper and its at tendant industry, metallurgy. At the Vermillion mine, at Tower, llinn., which is 100 miles north of Duluth, and in a country where one is surprised to see any human habitation, the electric light shines forth as the ono redeeming feature in a desolate landscape. Electricity is entering more and more into the metallurgy of gold and silver in amalgation processes. Aud the desirability of having an electric current "on tap," so to speak, for work of this kiud may prove an additional argument in many cases for the establishment of a lighting or power plant. Ono of the most prominent mining machines using a current is the Wis-well pulverizer and amalgamator, manufactured in Boston This consists essentially of a circular trough, lined with amalgamating troughs, in which four heavy wheels revolve, grinding the ore to fino pulp. An instance of electrical power already in use in mining and meeting the requirements and fulfilling the condition for such work is the installation of tho enor mous plant of the Sprague motor systems at Big Bend, on the Feather river, Butte county, Cal. A water fall of 300 feet was obtained and at this point are placed powerful l'eltou wheels, giving a very large horse power. The electric generators put in hero furnish current along a circuit of eighteen miles, extending around the entire bend of tho river. Motors are placed along the circuit at fourteen different points and furnish power required for hoisting, pumping and running machinery. Another mining application by this company has been made at Aspen, Col., where an electric motor is applied to hoisting purposes. The hoisting machine consists of the usual drum mounted on a shaft carrying a friction wheel. A parallel shaft carries a paper- faced friction pullny, bearing against the iron face of the friction wheel.

Tho aerial tramways now being put on the market with electric prepnlsion, promise to become important factors to haulage. The cables on which the cars are suspended are the conveyors of the current; being properly protected by covering plates, and small motors are placed on each car. The ease of operation and control and and other advantages of such a system, will doubtless make its early introduction almost a necessity. Timothy W. Sprague, S. B. .Vi Arctic Gasis. J. T. Dowoll, of Pennsylvania, who for two years past has been mining in Colorado aud Alaska, is down from PrinceWilliam's Sound Alaska, where he has been for many months past. Ho came on the steamer South Coast, and brought seventy-five tons of bituminous lignite coal with him from a mine which he has opened on Cook's Inlet. He is now testing tho coal here to find just what quality it is, although ho says it is superior. Dowell and eight companions have been prospecting about Cook's Inlet ever since they first wont north. He said last night to a reporter at the Occidental: 'On the west side of Kenri Peninsula, and on the east side of Cook's Inlet, is a strip of country more than 100 miles long and 50 miles wide that is a sight to see. For five months in the year it is covered with a lnxuKant red-top that adds to the beauty of the frowning mountains beyond. "It is, to all appearance, as fine agricultural land as I ever saw, and looks like a great river basin. There are thousands of acres of this red-top. I brought some of it down with me, and all who have seen it speak of it with wonder. "On this peninsula, too, are large areas, of hundreds of acres each, of huckleberries, cranberries and red and black currants. The berries are finer by far than I ever saw anywhere else. The cranberry marshes of Michigan and the blueberries of the east are nothing either in quality or quantity to these. They are larger, plentier and sweeter. "The peninsula would make a lordly cattle ranch. Tho stock could live on grass for five months and on the red-top hay for the rest of tho year. "It is also a good mineral region. We found plenty of gold and sil ver indications, enough to show ns it was a very rich country, but we were looking for coal and consequently paid little attention to other minerals. "I hear the Alaska Commercial Company and the cannery men talking down that country, but I have had some experience in the Leadville carbonate mines, and I must say I think Alaska is the greatest mineral region there is. I think tho Alaska company and the cannery men don't want outsiders to go in. They want to hold the country for themselves. San Francisco Examiner.

Look at the llorse.- A horse's head indicates bid character very much as a man's does. Vice is' shown in the mouth and eyes,intelligence is shown in tho eyes and in the breadth between the ears and between thd eyes; spirit in the eyes and in the nose, in the mobile nostril and ia tho active ear. The size of thecal', the ( jinness of the skin, making the face bony, the large, open, thin-edged nosti i' the fine ear and the thin, fino mane and foretop are indications of fine breeding, and accompanying a high-strung, nervous organization, which, with good limbs and muscular power insures a considerable degree of speed in the animal.

The experiment was a failure. The 1. t-f. was drunk most of the time, and when he was sober he didn't know a cactus from a wild lemon. The most valuable suggestion made by him was that the farmers of Arizona drink less oats and sow more whisky. We have bidden the tenderfoot a permanent and lasting adieu, and we now bid farewell to agriculture as a set thing. We shall occasionally refer to the subject in a reckless, off-hand way, taking chances on results, bnt there will be no further studied attempt to make the sandy plains get up and hump themselves into fields of waving corn, and we shan't cover the rocky hillsides thereabouts with vineyards or patches of deceptive buckwheat Good-by, tenderfoot good-by, ag-ricult nre. Arizona Kicker. A Palace of Salt. The people of Salt Lake City are contemplating the erection of a great "Salt Palace." It would be a structure that would lay in the shade all the ice and corn palaces ever constructed. The main part of the structure could be of the finest specimens of rock salt to be found in the quarries, chiseled, carved and artistically arranged ; while the interior fittings should be of crystalized work from the lake on a grand scala Such a palace should be permanent if properly protected from the winter rains; it could be made one of unique and striking style of architecture; it could be made one of the wonders of the world. When lighted by electricity the structure would have all the sparkle and diamond giitter of the great ice palaces, with the difference in the Salt Palace's favor that heat would not dim its glories in the least. Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise. The Anaconda mine, Montana Territory, is chiefly copper, with a proportion of silver and some gold. The present year's output is estimated at $13,000,000, about $10,000,000 copper, $2,000,000 of silver aud $1,000,000 of gold.
